The keyboard effects really crowd the spaces between instruments and washes away the friction and tension the songs otherwise would have had.2.5 averageKillswitch Engage Killswitch EngageThis is definitely not a step forward for the band. The album has some fun riffs and then some seriously boring ones, as per all Killswitch albums.2.0 poorDinosaur Jr. Farm"It's a lazy, noisy, hour long jaunt." This sums up the album perfectly. It's as conventional as conventional gets with a few cursory guitar solos added in exactly where you'd expect them. These guys really could have toned down the gain and sustain to let the guitar work breathe a little. As is, it just feels like dense chord after dense chord occasionally mixed under an equally dense solo.Storm Corrosion Storm Corrosion
